Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Wednesday, January 09, 2002 1:54 PM Comments I am an attorney representing the widow of a Port Authority of NY and NJ employee who was killed in Tower One on 9/11. I have specialized in personal injury and wrongful death matters for 29 years. My client and her late husband had 5 children, aged between 2 and 9. I have two comments: First, the sum of $50,000 per surviving dependant for non-economic loss is shockingly low, and, I submit, not within the intent of Congress. Second, it is extremely uinfair for life insurance proceeds to be deducted from awards. This is clearly contrary to Wronful Death law in most, if not all states. It penalizes those with the foresight to attempt to protect themselves from premature death, and, it will result, in some cases, with victims such as the client I represent, in receiving inadequate compensation for the loss of her husband and father of her five children. In return for giving up the right to file a civil suit, claimants must be treated more fairly in this regard.
